Education Week contributing writer Bryan Toporek brings you K-12 sports coverage that reaches far beyond box scores. He has written about education for Education Week and Education Week Teacher, high school sports for the Falls Church News-Press in Virginia, and is currently a Quality Editor for Bleacher Report.

[UPDATE (6:30 p.m.): According to my colleagues over at Politics K-12, the House passed the budget by a vote of 296-121.]
